Husson is a tough draw for WPI.

Good luck Clark and WPI today!

Best of luck to the NEWMAC representatives, WPI and Clark.

Beating WPI with a guard-centric offense will be a tall order for Husson. The guard trio of Newman, Margetson, and Callahan (even Reidy) are very good at keeping their guy in front and not easily coming off screens. And Marelli and Molen should be able to do damage inside.

Clark is obviously up against it. One guy to watch in this one and in years to come is FY Boluwasefe John. He's still raw, but his meaningful minutes are increasing and he was a difference maker in the NEWMAC tourney, altering shots on the defensive end and a menace on the offensive boards.

Clark played well in the spurts I watched. Congrats WPI.

Kinda feels like tomorrow is the difference between a great season and a really special season.

Remember they were picked 3rd in the NEWMAC.

Good luck tomorrow boys!

Whoohoo. Kudos to Ithaca announcers. Lots of home ("away") cooking but they were passionate and did a great job.

Too bad the students were home in between Wpi's 4 quarter system!

Bartley has to be so proud of this group. Adams leaves, Sevilla leaves. Picked 3rd preseason NEWMAC.

Maybe his best season yet?

Well done Coach. Congrats boys.

Keep it rolling.

No shame for WPI to lose to the #1 team in the country. The PBP guy was understandably talking a lot about the constant play stoppages, but unless I missed it never mentioned that Marelli came out after taking a 3-pt shot with about 17 minutes left and never returned. Had to be an injury. He had a quiet NEWMAC tournament, but you've got to let this guy play unless he was injured. A senior playing his last game. Then, they were already missing Margetson, so they had limited bench for guys who were part of the core group. Marvillo before Pebley? Another head-scratcher. Was that to go small? But Marvillo struggles from the outside.

But Wes was the better team.

WPI brings back a solid core for next season and should be at or very close to the top again, along with Clark and I think Emerson (particularly if McNamara returns to play and is on form).

Agree with all Babo. Great season boys. Wes too Athletic on this night.

I never make predictions on the board, but would not be surprised if they win 3 more games.
